Op-ed writing course for students at UiS

Learn how to write an op-ed and get it published.

This course is for anyone who wants to take part in public debate or draw more attention to their research.

The library’s events coordinator and former debate journalist at the newspaper Vårt Land, David Sviland, shares his best tips and provides feedback on your op-ed idea.
